Biden says Netanyahu not doing enough to reach cease-fire, hostage deal

President Biden is putting more pressure on Israel’s prime minister to reach a cease-fire deal in the war with Hamas. Asked by reporters if Benjamin Netanyahu was doing enough to reach a cease-fire and a deal to free hostages in Gaza, the president said, “No.” He insisted that negotiators remain “very close” to an agreement. His comments came before a White House Situation Room meeting with advisers involved in the negotiations. There’s a renewed urgency to reaching a cease-fire after six more hostages — including an Israeli-American — were found dead in Gaza over the weekend.
